Greta Thunberg BBC interview: 'It's been a very strange year'

We hear from two climate change campaigners. In a BBC interview. the Swedish environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg explains what she has achieved and what she wants to do after taking a year off school to focus on raising awareness. We’ll also hear from her father who has said he initially thought it was a bad idea for his daughter to become a figurehead of the battle against climate change.

And Amy Tai is one of the volunteer leaders for Mothers Out Front, a grassroots movement of thousands of mothers and grandmothers across the US campaigning for a liveable climate for their children.

Climate change is also being discussed in Australia, where temperatures in every state exceeded 40C on Monday, and many bushfires are burning out of control. We get more details from our reporter in Sydney.
